as i have said before : patriotism is the new religion. The religion as opium for the masses (quote unquote Karl marx). Religion is a tool of the corporate overlords. Keep the people stupid and don't let them think for themselves.

And I, stupid european, tought the war in Iraq had something to do with spreading democracy ? Those constitutional rights are essential to democracy.
>However, I'm tired of being told half-truths and lies. The trouble is, a complex argument is useless against right-wingers. They will only listen to their purse, and not to people trying to get the concept of 'prudence' into their heads.
let me ask you 1 thing : what is the agenda of these global-warming activists ? Let me tell you : to ask people to behave more prudently. What is the agenda of the people ignoring global warming/cooling : filling their pockets with oil-money and weapon-money. So, it's not a question of who is right, but a question of : are we going to be egoistic or are we going to be prudent ?
This is one of the (many)reasons I hate dubbing, and i am lucky to live in a land where subtitling is only abondonded in children-targetted TV-programmes.
I think metadata tags could be a fine addition to a hierarchical filesystem; i always tought that 'filetype' isn't enough information about the content of a file (and in the case of the windows-filesystem it's ugly... 3-letters indication the type of file ? sheesh.)
Here we go again, shouting from here to there and back. Nice, real nice. Is this a result of world-wide programs to make people nationalistic ? Methinks that this is a ploy of the owners of the largest corporations, the blue bloods, the richer, the top capitalists... to oppress the people and keep them stupid. Nationalism as a new religion.
Yes, the climate change is happening, but the difference is : normally this would take thousands of years, but we broke it/we are breaking it, so it happens in a few decades. This could lead to a second great extinction.
the main difference is : faith takes away the responsibility for your own actions AND/OR the need to think for yourself in determining what is good/wrong.
sigh. Any bully will sooner or later get a punch. In this case : a nuclear punch. Go to any schoolplayground. You think I can't make this comparison ? You overestimate homo sapiens sapiens. I'll go back down to my nuclear shelter now.

A combination with windpower would make it a very fine solution ecology-wise.
Yes, they have incredible eyesight, and due to their much smaller 'brain' it can react amazingly fast. They would make excellent FPS-playes ...
Problem is, most people will keep on thinking in terms of 'us' and 'them'. Barbaric.

With intellectual property in place from 10000 years ago, we would still all be farmers, or even hunter-gatherers. IP destroys innovation.

(Because everybody knows anyone who doesn't support good ol' American DRM is a evil ter'rist pirate!)
not a commie ?

So lets just keep on hapily doing what we're doing... Ever heard of 'better safe than sorry'?
yes, and that's still twice the price of windpower
there are at least 2 deaths.
Oh Yes, and today another 20000 die of hunger and poverty.
there's nothing even closely as safe as a train.
And what is the top speed of this baby ? Can it break the current speed record of 515 kph ?

people saying "you still haven't proven it"
I think of myself as "green", and i don't want it to be proven. because, when that will be the case, it will already be TOO late to take action.
Being less reliant on oil is a serious economic benefit.
sigh.

Yes there is a difference. But 'Hypocrisy' is a word I see floating before my eyes when the US says to the rest of the world to bend too their rules.
I'll refrase that :
And who have the US the right to be the judge of who is good and who is bad ? very simple : by being the bully.
A bully will sooner or later get a punch. In this case a nuclear punch.
And Bush (sr.) put him(Saddam) in power.
